As part of the Women's month commemorations, 97 title deeds were handed over to qualifying beneficiaries, who are mainly women at the West Rand District Municipality. 
MEC for Human Settlements, Urban Planning and CoGTA, Lebogang Maile and Minister for Human Settlements Mmamoloko Kubayi visited the area on Monday to assess progress and do site inspections at some of the biggest integrated human settlements projects in Gauteng.
"It remains our collective desire as government to do more, with the material conditions allowing and the requisite hard work, political will and commitment; we will do more.
"Over 1 million people need housing in the province. Gauteng has a huge backlog of housing, we have about a million people who are looking for houses and when we look at our budget we can build at least between 15 000 and 20 000 for what we call Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) houses and of course there are other interventions that we make through social housing and Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme (FLISP)," said MEC Maile.
As part of this oversight visit, Maile and Kubayi also attended to issues of bulk infrastructure which continue being a thorn for the Gauteng Human Settlements.
Minister Kubayi said part of what we started with just to engage on the project that is there, major issues around bulk infrastructure remains.
"We have learned (the team tells me) that, Gauteng is doing well in terms of title deeds allocations in terms of the systems that they have, we will be looking into that whether we can learn in what Gauteng is doing and take it to other provinces to improve the work," said Kubayi.  
Elijah Barayi Village is one of the Mega Human Settlement projects that will have 12799 Mixed housing units. 5000 is BNG units, 3500 Social housing, 2200 Affordable housing, 1500 FLISP, 599 bonded. 
Dan Tloome Mega Project in Randfontein consists of 924 units; 504 have been allocated and the remaining 420 should be allocated mid-September 2021. ​
